How can PHP be used to implement templates for web development?

PHP can be used to implement templates for web development by creating separate template files that contain the HTML structure of the website and placeholders for dynamic content. These template files can be included in PHP files where the dynamic content is generated, allowing for easier maintenance and reusability of code. 

<?php
// template.php
<html>
<head>
    <title><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1><?php echo $heading; ?></h1>
    <p><?php echo $content; ?></p>
</body>
</html>
?>

<?php
// index.php
$pageTitle = "Home Page";
$heading = "Welcome to our website!";
$content = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.";
include('template.php');
?>
